Before You Arrive
Planning Your 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh
Who This Advanced Course Is For
This course is designed for teachers who have already completed a 200-hour training and want to take both their own practice and their teaching to a deeper level. Holding an RYT-200 is the prerequisite for joining.
It suits teachers who feel ready to move beyond the basics — to refine advanced postures, sequence classes with more intention, and bring philosophy, pranayama and Ayurveda into their teaching with confidence. Batches are kept to 8–12 students, so your teachers can give detailed feedback on both your practice and your teaching.
Why Return to Rishikesh?
Rishikesh sits in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of the Ganges, and has been a home for yoga and meditation for generations. For an advanced training, the setting matters: four weeks in an ashram with a steady daily rhythm leaves room for self-study and reflection between classes.
You also learn close to the roots of the tradition, from experienced local teachers who live these practices every day, surrounded by ashrams, temples and the evening Ganga Aarti.
How to Prepare
Keep up a regular personal practice in the months before you arrive, and if you can, teach a few classes so that your recent teaching experience is fresh. Bring your notes from your 200-hour training — you will build on them throughout the course.
Pack comfortable practice clothes, a notebook, a refillable water bottle and a few warm layers for cool mornings. Check the visa requirements for your country early — our Visa & Safety guide explains the basics.
Working Towards RYT-500
When you complete the 300 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh at our Yoga Alliance® Registered Yoga School (RYS 300), you receive a 300-hour certificate. Together with your 200-hour training, this makes you eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500 teacher. You can find the registration steps on the Yoga Alliance website.
If you have not yet done your 200 hours, you can combine both stages in our 500 hour yoga teacher training. Have a question about which option fits you? Contact our team — we’re happy to help. You can also reach us on WhatsApp or by phone for a quick answer about dates, rooms and fees.
